I’m feeling like a bona-fide yogi as I pour the contents of a Sainsbury’s Lentil Dahl soup tub into the saucepan & stir. Inevitably she’s curious and wants to know what’s cooking..

Daughter: What the hell is that?

Me: Carrots, potatoes, tomatoes, chickpeas with green and red split lentils. In other words..

Daughter: Shit and mustard.

Me: I was going to say…manna of the gods..

Daughter: Shit and mustard.
